- Description:
- Children's Mardi Gras (oil on canvas, 29 1/2" x 34 1/2") was painted by Andree Ruellan in 1949. Although seemingly playful, the painting is executed in a dark palette and is more somber than the artist's work prior to World War II.

This painting depicts several children clad in masks and costumes; one of the children plays a horn. Several other children, dressed in street clothes, watch the costumed children from above.Although seemingly playful, the painting is executed in a dark palette and is more somber than the artist's work prior to World War II.
Ruellan, a New York native of French descent, was a prominent artist of the twentieth century. Although she worked primarily in New York and Europe during her long career, Ruellan's frequent trips to the South, including to Savannah, Georgia, provided her with rich source material. - Metadata URL:
